Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

評分在杰弗里•乔叟之前，大致有这几种讲故事的形式。 荷马，最早的诗歌之王，吟游的诗人。当他开始歌颂人和神袛的战斗时，总要先对缪斯女神祈求灵感。他的史诗，描述与命运抗争的人类，歌颂波澜壮阔的战争。 当时能跟荷马媲美的，我想只有俄尔浦斯这个希腊传说中的人物。他是一...
評分 評分于2017年01月13日读完。 一个14世纪的故事系列，多用诗歌讲述，少数几个故事使用散文写成。故事多世俗，多关于男女之事，有些地方写的比较直接。 比较有意思的段落如下。 “对于上帝的或者妻子的秘密，做丈夫的不应该感到好奇。只要他看到上帝赐给他的...
評分火车开始轰鸣，Z30次列车上一片欢声笑语。 这轻松的氛围始于列车长的一句提议：“既然我们都是要乘火车去北京看天安门的，一路上大家尽可以畅所欲言。每个人说一个故事，精彩的话，我就免费送一瓶来自西藏冰川的矿物质纯净水，原价7块5哦！” 然后大家就“争奇斗艳”地讲了起...
